DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) — A free developmental screening event for young children is coming to the Alfred Saliba Family Services Center later this month.
“Books, Balls & Blocks” will take place Feb. 28 from 2 to 4 p.m. inside the auditorium at the Alfred Saliba Family Services Center. The event is designed for caregivers and children ages 1 month to 5½ years old.
Families can expect hands-on play at volunteer-led activity stations, along with opportunities to connect with community resources that support early childhood development. Parents will also complete a brief ASQ-3 developmental screener during the event.
Organizers say the goal is to provide a fun and interactive setting where families can learn more about their child’s growth while enjoying time together.
The event is presented by Help Me Grow Alabama, Alabama Partnership for Children and Wiregrass 211.
Admission is free, and the public is invited to attend.
